Then number one cause of Hypothyroidism today in the United States is Hashimoto's Disease. If you are struggling with Hypothyroidism it's likely that this disease is the cause, yet few doctors even look for it.
Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease. The immune system believes that your thyroid is not your own tissue and begins attacking it. As you lose tissue, your thyroid hormones begin to drop. This drop in thyroid hormones leads to a high TSH level.
The typical treatment for Hashimoto's is the application of thyroid hormones. This can be helpful, but is certainly not correcting the core issue. If the immune system is attacking the thyroid, shouldn't the treatment be focused in that area?
Most of the clients that participate in the ChicagoThyroid Program at Integrative Health of Chicago are people dealing with Hashimoto’s Disease. If you are struggling with thyroid problems there are some simple tests to show if it is being caused by Hashimoto's or not.
I am very pleased with the results of bovine thyroid supplements . I finally lost weight, which diet and exercise alone wasn't enough to do the job.
